A mesmerizing time-lapse video captured by a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Zurich shows developing nerve cells, or neurons, shooting across the inside of a chick embryo. The video reveals the intricate process of neurons connecting to the opposite side of the central nervous system. The researcher hopes that his work will contribute to a better understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders.
A mesmerizing time-lapse video captured by a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Zurich shows developing neurons in a chick embryo connecting to the opposite side of the central nervous system. The video, which won the 2023 Nikon Small World in Motion Video Competition, reveals the intricate behavior of nerve cells as they shoot across the embryo. The researcher hopes that this work will contribute to a better understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders and improve our knowledge of how the brain develops.
Astronomers have created a time-lapse video using 20 years of Hubble Space Telescope data, showcasing the remnants of a supernova explosion that occurred around 20,000 years ago. The video focuses on a small section of the Cygnus Loop, a nebula formed from the remains of a star that exploded in a supernova. The time-lapse reveals density differences in the shock wave associated with the explosion and showcases gossamer filaments resembling twisted ribbons of light. The filaments have remained unchanged over the past 20 years, despite the shock wave's velocity being fast enough to travel from Earth to the moon in less than half an hour.
Astrophotographer Miguel Claro captured a stunning photo and time-lapse video of the rare super Blue Moon of August 30, 2023, rising over Monsaraz Castle in Portugal. The Blue Moon, which is the second full moon in a month, coincided with the moon reaching its perigee, making it appear larger and brighter. This unique event won't happen again until 2037. Claro's work showcases the beauty of the night sky and can be seen on his website and Instagram.
Astronomers have created a time-lapse video of an exoplanet called Beta Pictoris b orbiting its star, using 17 years of observations. The planet, located 63 light-years away, is relatively large and its star is bright, allowing for direct imaging. The video covers three quarters of one orbit and is the longest time-lapse footage of an exoplanet to date. Researchers used computer algorithms to process the images and remove blurring effects and glare. The planet was first imaged in 2003 and has a mass around 13 times that of Jupiter.
Professional photographer Miguel Claro has created a stunning 4K time-lapse video showcasing the one-month journey of Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) past Earth. The video captures the comet's greenish coma, white dust tail, and a "disconnection event" where part of the plasma tail was uprooted and carried away by the solar wind. The comet also reveals a rare "anti-tail" that gradually changes its angle as Earth crosses its orbital plane. Claro's video includes rapid greenish meteors, close encounters with galaxies, and the comet's fast movement against the starry sky. The footage is a result of capturing and processing almost 1 terabyte of data from 521 final images.
